Colorize Control Center’s connectivity module toggles with Aestea Revived

One of my favorite elements of Control Center is the connectivity module, which resides on the top shelf of the interface and provides nearly all of the toggle buttons for my handset’s wireless radios, including Bluetooth, Cellular, Wi-Fi, and a handy button for immediate access to Airplane Mode, among other things.

As much as I like the connectivity module in terms of its functionality, I’ve always thought that it would be more exciting if Apple provided a way for users to colorize the user experience to suit their tastes. While it doesn’t seem that Apple shares the same interests that I do, a free jailbreak tweak dubbed Aestea Revived by iOS developers Litten and Luki120 certainly hits close to home on the subject.

Review: The Logitech Circle View Doorbell features great hardware only limited by HomeKit

Logitech Circle View Doorbell

When I started looking at smart video doorbells for my new home, one specific feature I was looking for was HomeKit support, but as it turned out at the time (merely 3 months ago), there was none. So like everybody else, I settled for a Ring doorbell, which has worked reliably for me. Installation was simple. Set up was a breeze, and daily use was just as frictionless as you would expect from a doorbell.

But then Logitech introduced the Circle View Doorbell in December of 2020, the first device of its kind to support HomeKit, thus playing nice with all the Apple devices in my house and pocket.

So I reached out to the folks at Logitech who sent me a Circle View Doorbell after giving me a short briefing on the product. In this review, I’ll share my impressions of this smart video doorbell. But a bit of warning: this review will be heavily tinted by my experience with Ring, which I see as the standard in the category, or the device to beat, if you will.
